social media

i have my reasons why i´m NOT at facebook or twitter. andif you pin my work on pinterest, please make sure to link it back to me by taking the button on my side: that will bring you to my board with all my art-links. thanks for respecting that.

i consider my blog to be my "artistic diary" - so i can recap what i made and which influences i got (exhibitions etc).

currently i try to publish frequentlyonce in a week (mondays/tuesdays mostly)

People with a Google+ account: please leave a direct blog link, otherwise i can´t visit you.

in the course of this week i received wonderful birthday mail... i´m not a friend of the slideshows, so i will show the treasures individually (in the order of their arrival).as the painter set our house into uncomfortable state (windows hung with plastic sheets) i will hold off on the party and we go to a beer garden with friends instead.

soccer rules... we are inmidst the european championship, had some really great matches and i spent quite some time watching (i will fall into soccer ignorance afterwards for two years, until the world championship will take place...)

and in addition to that we had to prepare for the painting of our house (we are one in a row of four) - the scaffold was put up yesterday, the painters will come tomorrow...

challenge at tmta is "round" as a sort of tribute to the current european football championship... i took it literally and this atc shows the result of yesterday evening´s game - the netherlands won against italy.

a highlight in today´s mail... i am the happy owner of one of Dijanne Cevaal´s pomegranate quilts now - belinda had put me into her direction with one of her posts recently. i love the colors in this one especially... size is 8x8 inch and it is worked so thoroughly - i always admire people who have such a hand with fabrics!

one of my best friends was diagnosed with hodgkin´s lymphoma and will start chemo next week. and because that´s not enough, her younger sister got the same day the news she has cervical cancer. how likely is it to get that bad news on one day?! i never heard of such coincidence!! it´s unbelievable!

now, lots of tears, though both are in early stages and we really, really have good hope! anyway, hard days and months to come...

i couldn´t make bright artwork... (the journal pages below are from the weekend mostly. only needed a last touch...) --- actually i even think the goth doll is a bit too "cute", but i couldn´t find another pic...
